Maneuvering Rotorcraft Simulations Using CREATE A/V Helios

Speaker: Beatrice Roget, Science & Technology Corporation (STC)/NASA Ames Research Center
March 29, 2016

Presentation

Abstract

CREATE A/V Helios is a rotary-wing computational aeromechanics simulation frame-work that integrates high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with rotorcraft comprehensive analysis (CA). This presentation documents new code developments that enable simulation of generic flexible multi-body problems. These new capabilities are demonstrated through two test cases: a maneuvering rotorcraft with elastic deformations computed via CFD/CA coupling and a rotor equipped with trailing-edge flaps, with both flap deflections and blade/flap elastic deformations prescribed.

Biography

Beatrice Roget is a STC employee at NASA Ames Research Center and a member of the Helios development team since March 2014. She obtained her Ph.D. from the University of Maryland in 2004 under the guidance of Inderjit Chopra. Prior to joining the Helios team, she worked on rotorcraft aeroelastic modeling at NASA Langley (2004-2009) and at the University of Wyoming (2009-2014).

Seminar Participation

Attending In Person

For select seminars, you may wish to attend in-person if you are in the vicinity of NASA Ames Research Center. These AMS seminars are held in Building N258 in Room 127, just off the front lobby. Sessions available to attend in-person will be indicated in the announcement information. In-person participants without NASA badges will need a valid visitor badge (US citizenship or permanent residency is required) to enter the facility.
